The campaign model of the democratic system also makes Roque enough.
Southern Africa is better off. The last time the Congress revised the Constitution, the election of the prime minister was determined to be held every five years. It only happens once every five years. It used to be once every four years.
In this way, every five years, the leaders of the federal government must focus their main energy on the election. Those in office want to keep their positions, and those in the opposition want to come to power. Everyone must use their main energy to join forces, and also
How much energy can be devoted to national development?
Democracy is populism in the end. In order to win votes, candidates make better pre-campaign promises than the previous ones. As a result, they are unable to fulfill their promises after being elected, causing the government's credibility in the hearts of voters to go bankrupt. If things go on like this, the election will end up being worse for voters.
You can only choose between two equally bad people and cast your vote randomly by choosing the one who doesn't look so bad. This kind of right actually has no meaning.
When the Federal Government of Southern Africa was established, Philip's reputation was far less than that of Ade, so in the first election, Ade was undoubtedly elected as the Prime Minister of the Federal Government of Southern Africa, and has been re-elected until now.
Philip was obviously very dissatisfied with this fact.
The Matilda family is powerful in southern Africa. Roque, Henry, and Owen, the most outstanding young people in southern Africa are almost all members of the Matilda family. Although Stoudemire is not, he is related to Roque and Henry.
There are countless connections.
The current situation is obvious. Although after the end of the world war, Ade, who led southern Africa to win the world war, his reputation reached an unprecedented peak, but as long as Philip can get Roque's help, then Philip is not without hope.
The Liberal Party's headquarters in Pretoria is a four-storey granite building. Southern Africa stipulates that high-rise buildings with six floors and above must install elevators. Although the Liberal Party headquarters only has four floors, because the floors are relatively high, three elevators are still installed.
There are two elevators, two for employees and one for senior managers.
Nowadays, the Liberal Party headquarters is becoming more and more formal. The security personnel are all wearing black suits and uniforms, and they are not the kind of high-end suits from cheap stores. At least they are high-end suits produced by Itno.
The receptionists at the front desk are all young girls, two white and two Chinese, some are beautiful and some are innocent, and they fully take care of every target group.
Rock used the elevator used by senior executives to go directly to the fourth floor. He definitely didn't need to make an appointment to see Philip.
"You have to think clearly. The current situation is very bad. It is very likely that an economic crisis will break out within a year or two. No matter who becomes the prime minister by then, it will definitely be affected." Roque reminded Philip that he really is not the prime minister now.
good chance.
"Haha, Locke, I just want to give it a try. No matter how my performance as prime minister is, as long as I have been prime minister once, I will have no regrets." Philip is not afraid of the economic crisis. As the speaker of Congress, Philip knows that the federal government has already
With plans to deal with the economic crisis, even if Southern Africa will be affected by the economic crisis, it will definitely be the least affected among all countries.
"Okay, I will find time to chat with the Prime Minister." Phillip had already reached this point, and Roque could only give in.
Although Roque is willing to help Phillip, Roque definitely does not want to affect his relationship with Ade.
Whether it is to let Philip feel the pain of being prime minister, Roque is not worried that Philip will make many mistakes in the position of prime minister. If Philip becomes prime minister, then Ade will most likely be the speaker of parliament. With Ade watching over him, Philip will have no chance to make any mistakes.
Wrong, just like how Philip is now supervising Adelaide. As long as Adelaide does something that is not good enough or is not timely, Congress will immediately ask the Prime Minister to come to Congress to explain.
The explanation is just a nice way of saying it. The Prime Minister should accept the inquiry from Congress.
"Great. If I were the Prime Minister, I would fight for greater autonomy for Southern Africa, strive for equal status with London, and push the Commonwealth to establish a tariff system to further strengthen Southern Africa's status within the Commonwealth.
To create better conditions for southern African goods to be sold to other parts of the Commonwealth, I will also integrate the Commonwealth and the United States to compete and further strengthen the position of our southern Africa in international affairs-" Philip continued, he was indeed
I want to do something big.
Unfortunately, when Philip becomes Prime Minister, he will understand that the Prime Minister cannot do whatever he wants.
Ade has been doing the things Philip said, but sometimes the development of the objective world will not be based on personal will. Ade wants to strive for more benefits for southern Africa. Sorry, Winston thinks the same way.
Winston also wants to fight for more benefits for the British mainland.
Viscount Glaston wants to fight for more benefits for Australia.
A certain saint in India also wanted to strive for more benefits for India.
Canadians and New Zealanders also have their own demands.
But the cake is only so big.
what to do?
If someone takes one more bite, someone will definitely take one less bite.
"Philip, let's be realistic. What you said is very good, but you can't get the congressmen to vote for you." Roque didn't call him dad. Since he was talking about business, he put aside his personal relationship.
The elections in Southern Africa are different from the elections in the UK. In the UK, the leader of the ruling party automatically becomes the candidate for prime minister, and then becomes the prime minister after being confirmed by the king.
When the federal government of Southern Africa was established, there was no clear system for the selection of a prime minister. Neither the Liberal Party nor the Progressive Party proposed a candidate that convinced everyone. As a result, Ade, who created Southern Africa, became the prime minister of Southern Africa.
When Adelaide's first term ended, it was during the World War, and no elections were held at that time. Last year, Congress amended the Constitution and decided that southern Africa would hold elections every five years. The next election will be next year, in 1919.
The elected Prime Minister will begin his term in 1920.
Elections in Southern Africa require votes from members of Congress, who come from each state. The number of members of Congress is determined every five years based on the population of each state. The minimum is not less than five and the maximum is not more than ten.
Nyasaland now has five members of Parliament, two from the Liberal Party and three from the Nyasaland Party.
By 1920, Congress will begin to determine the number of members of Congress based on the population of each state. The number of members of Congress in Nyasaland will definitely increase by then, while in states like Orange, where the population does not increase but decreases, the number of members of Congress will not increase.
It is expected to decrease.
That’s not right. Orange also has five members of Congress now, and the worst that will happen is that it will remain unchanged.
This means that the Orange State's voice is declining.
"As long as the MPs from the three states of Transvaal, Rhodesia and Nyasaland vote for me, then I will definitely win." Philip definitely has more cards in his hands than these three states. Ade governs the country.
While he was working hard, Philip probably spent most of his energy on wooing congressmen.
This is the bad nature of democracy.
When leaving the Liberal Party headquarters, Roque suddenly realized that if he ran for office now, he might also have a chance to be elected prime minister.
Think about it, if Roque is willing to run, then the votes in Nyasaland and Rhodesia will definitely belong to Roque. Not to mention the other votes in the Transvaal, Buck's vote will definitely belong to Roque.
of.
Roque has at least a half chance of winning over the votes in other states. After all, except for Cape and Orange, in all other states in southern Africa, Chinese account for at least half, similar to Bechuanaland and Lorenzo Mar.
Guis, as well as Basutoland and Dias, the proportion of Chinese is over 70%, which means that Roque can get at least half of the votes.
Stable!
But Roque doesn't want to run for office yet. Being prime minister is indeed a high-power position, but who knows what it feels like. In the words of Sidney Milner, Adelaide never slept before one o'clock in the morning, and often got up early in the morning.
Get up at six o'clock.
Not to mention that the elderly do not get enough sleep. The elderly also need sufficient sleep to ensure their health. It would be good for Adelaide to step back and take a rest. Adelaide's body will not be able to support it if he continues to work so hard.
Adelaide's personal doctor is still Su Xian. Su Xian has been conditioning Adelaide's body, but because Adelaide is too busy at work, the effect is not very good. Adelaide's health has continued to deteriorate over the years.
Returning to the Ministry of National Defense, although the Ministry of Defense now has three deputy ministers, there are still many things that require Roque to make decisions.
The Navy hopes to secure funding to order a truly southern African aircraft carrier from Edwards Shipbuilding.
The Air Force also needs money and hopes to completely replace the "Strong Wind" fighter jets that have lagged behind in performance. Nyasaland Aviation Group has now launched the "Hast Wind" fighter jet, which has an overall performance improvement of about 30% compared to the "Strong Wind" fighter jets.
The Army's report is so bloody. After the end of the World War, the Army had a massive layoff. The army of more than one million people has now been reduced to less than 50,000. You must know that during the World War, the Southern African Expeditionary Force had more than 50,000 technical arms.
People, those artillery and armored troops that have relatively high quality requirements cannot be temporarily recruited and simply trained to form combat effectiveness.
Various branches of the armed services also have higher requirements for military academies. The Ministry of National Defense has established the Naval Academy and the Air Force Academy on the basis of the Army Academy. However, due to insufficient funds, the construction of each academy has not yet met the requirements. Now the Air Force has to rely on flying clubs for teaching.
, the Navy wants to send officers who need training to study in the UK. Only the Army Academy is in a better situation, but the Army Academy does not meet Rock's requirements.
To put it bluntly, there is still no money. Roque cannot spend his own money to build national defense in southern Africa.
That Rock is so great.

The main plot is to expand the living space of the Chinese and improve the status of the Chinese in the international community. It is not the First World War. The current plots also serve the main plot. It is really not a flood. The United States has such a huge advantage.
It took two world wars to successfully come to power——
